Some sketchy areas, although it was broad daylight and the place was teeming with people. |

Penn gets an undeserved reputation as an edgy campus. The security and campus police staff go above and beyond to ensure the safety of the students. The campus is well-lit and patrolled all day. |

Even though Penn is in a big city, the campus (and the city, for that matter) is relatively safe, contrary to popular (and incorrect) belief. |

I saw campus police all over the place as well as those emergency phone things. Also security at the dorms seems to be really tight which is good. |

Penn seems to be very aware of the possible security issue. The tour guide even said that they had plain-clothes cops on campus, which was something unique. Overall, it didn't seem very dangerous. |

Being close to West Philly, there are security concerns, but Penn does an excellent job of mitigating these. Penn has one of hte largest private security forces in the nation, and there is a complex system of video cameras, blue light phones, walking esc |

The campus was very safe, with the exception of it being basically scattered throughout Philly. I didn't notice many police officers, but there were many blue boxes. |
